The Eighth Night: Master Debater 2021

For the fifth year in a row, attendees of this event will be transported into a ridiculous, hilarious, and probably uncomfortable family living room by way of our 2021 event! Not your typical Chanukah party, Master Debater is a no holds barred show where two teams of Jews face off in three rounds of high school style debate. The teams, made up of shrewd comedians, witty rabbis, nerds, normies, and more, argue the most pressing issues of our tradition. Previous topics include: NY Jews vs. LA Jews, Plagues: Real or Fake, Circumcision: yay or nay, and many more. This year is extra special as we’ll be incorporating live musical elements, a giant menorah candle lighting, and special VIP cocktail hour!

Pulling from history lessons, Passover stories, wise ancestors, and our favorite haggadot, we’ll honor where we’ve been, where we are now, and where we are going.

Forgotten Mourners

Forgotten Mourners

Jewish law defines the mourning process for a parent, spouse, sibling, and child. But what happens when we lose someone who does not fit in those categories? Author of “Faith Unravels: A Rabbi’s Struggle With Grief and God,” Rabbi Daniel Greyber will recall his own experience of being a forgotten mourner after the death of two close friends and we will explore how we can build communities that acknowledge all who grieve and help them to heal.
